If NASCAR was interested in promoting the best talent, the kid I sponsor and 4 others I can think of who tear up the short track circuit would be driving Cup cars...
It aint over till its over.
FACT: JGR has a history with nurturing drivers that have emotional issues. How many anger management sessions did Tony have to go to? How many probations with NASCAR in his career? Denny Hamlin looks like he could crack as well.
FACT: Kyles esteemed brother Kurt has had a few behavioral issues on and off the track. Kyle gets it honestly.
FACT: The kid doesn't know how to handle the resentment (BOOING) from his overwhelming success in the form of wins and it is starting to fester. The bows, arrogance, the goofy sunglasses he wears, (all the time even at night) and the "nothing affects me" attitude. It's just a matter of time.
No doubt the kid can run a car. Trucks, Nationwide, and Cup, right now he is unstoppable. I see an on the track altercation coming very soon. He looks like the type that crys real easy!

I recall Dale Sr saying the boo's did not bother him, he knew they were still watching him and his fear was no response from the fans
I have to agree with you on those damn sunglasses, I don't know what the deal with ALL these drivers and these ugly sunglasses is this year. Can they not get a decent pair of COSTA'S
I guess they are all trying to set a trend like Sr did with Gargoyles but damn all these things they were now look like something a woman would wear

I have to agree with CMP. It's not the first time nor the last that some of them good ol boys put a northern boy in the wall. Matter of fact a top driver was told direct you will not win, he was till they put him out.
As for those stupid glasses, it must be spreading. I saw some dumb ass with ski goggles on last week on a 80 degree day. What a retard looking way to spend the day. His girl friend however was HOT.

I've never been a racist. I don't like the white half either.
I have written the 08 season off to the Toyota's. They have so much more horsepower than the rest of the manufacturers. I am still waiting for JGR to start building their own engines and stop relying on TRD.

Actually in Sprint Cup with Chevy having the R07 and Ford's new motor, they are VERY close. It is only in Nationwide that Toyota had the HP advantage.
NASCAR is instituting a Nationwide Series rule that will affect only Toyota but isn't necessarily aimed at the engine manufacturer that has dominated the circuit this season.
Starting with this weekend's race at O'Reilly Raceway Park in Clermont, Ind., all engines with cylinder bore spacing of 4.470 inches or more will have their carburetor spacers reduced by 0.025 of an inch, which should drop about 15 horsepower.
I hope Carl wins the championship, after getting robbed like he did at the first of the year. Carl is the one unstoppable. Jefff Girly Gordon must gettting blowjob points or something. With all the miserable finishes he has had, how does he manage to stay in the chase? Can someone explain why Tony Stew is not doing as well as Kyle or Denny ? Same cars , right, or is Tony not trying? I like Tony. He is one of the real racers left in PC Nascar. He is gruff, don't take shit, and will bust your ass if you get in his way. Is Kyle following in his footsteps, I think so. He just doesn't have enuff ass to back the talk up.
As for the sunglasses, they really look stupid and girly, much like Crocs. I think they are trying to hide their faces to keep from laughing at what a joke Nascar has become.

I agree with you on Stewart but I think it is pretty much a lame duck season from here on out, seems once you tell a team you have other plans for the next season you get crap for the rest of the time you are there.
The sport needs Stewart and Kyle Busch(minus them dumb ass looking sunglasses), both of these drivers have balls something that is lacking in most other drivers and if Nascar penalizes KB for that after race incident they are full of crap. That is Bristol and Nascar that is what the fans pay to see.

actually what Carl did was worst than what Kyle did,Kyle just bumped him a bit Carl flat out rammed him around other car's.i would be surprised and disappointed if Nascar fined Kyle and not Carl.
NASCAR has become show busi. flat out. The sunglasses, hair, multi million motorhomes, private planes, PR reps. and the list goes on. The drivers all talk about making the show and if driver races hard they fine him or black flag him. All of the TV time covering Jr. who appears he can't drive his finger up his arse because he is an also finished. His father drove hard and stuck with the motto finishing second is the first looser. Hilton and France have turned it in to a one ring circus.
